Artist Joe Garnett spent Thursday morning working on a painting of King Gillette, inventor of disposable razor blades and the first popular safety razor. The painting at the old Gebo’s/Marse & Son building, 623 Broadway, will be part of a demonstration by Garnett during Artwalk on Broadway from 5-8 p.m. today. According to Garnett, the painting will eventually be part of the interior of Studio 623, owned by Justin and Heather May. The Mays sell handmade soaps, and plan to convert the large building into a retail outlet, art gallery and small black box theater with loft apartments above. Garnett said Justin May, who has some facial hair, chose the subject as a joke. less
